Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Conduction disturbances after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Conduction disturbances and permanent pacemaker implantation remain the most common complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. The strongest predictors of conduction abnormalities and subsequent permanent pacemaker implantation after ...

PRDM16 determines specification of ventricular cardiomyocytes by suppressing alternative cell fates

Life Science Alliance
PRDM16 loss in cardiomyocytes during development causes an atrial and conduction fate shift and distal ventricular conduction system hyperplasia resulting in premature death or cardiac dysfunction.

Cell surface CD11c as a neutrophil aging marker molecule

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cell surface CD11chi neutrophils were more aged and had better phagocytic function than CD11c−/lo neutrophils. Transcriptomic analysis of CD11chi neutrophils and CD11c−/lo neutrophils in pediatric population showed that the most difference was seen in infants.

Surgical and Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Interventions: An Electrophysiology-Focused Review

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Increasing recognition of the clinical impact of isolated tricuspid regurgitation has led to rapid expansion of surgical and transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions.

The C‐terminal domain of yeast Arginyltransferase1 is essential for its catalytic activity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Arginyltransferase 1 (Ate1), a eukaryotic enzyme, catalyses arginylation, transferring arginine from tRNA‐Arg to the amino terminus of the target protein. Overexpression of Ate1 in yeast is lethal and is dependent on arginylation. This study elucidates how mutations in the cofactor‐binding and active site of Ate1 and truncation of its structural ...

Type I interferons modulate autophagy to shape gemcitabine response in pancreatic cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Type I interferons differentially modulate autophagy and the response of pancreatic cancer cells to gemcitabine. IFNα2b stimulates autophagic flux and protects cells from gemcitabine‐induced cell death, contributing to chemoresistance. In contrast, IFNβ1a inhibits autophagosome formation and enhances gemcitabine‐induced cell death, resulting in ...

TRPML1 agonist ML‐SA5 attenuates pulmonary fibroblast activation by suppressing mTOR and restoring autophagic flux

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TGF‐β1 stimulation downregulates lysosomal channel TRPML1 in pulmonary fibroblasts. The TRPML1 agonist ML‐SA5 suppressed fibroblast‐to‐myofibroblast activation and collagen production. Mechanistically, ML‐SA5 inhibited mTOR phosphorylation, restored autophagic flux, and its effects were enhanced by rapamycin (mTOR inhibitor) and reversed by MHY1485 ...

Gradual differentiation and confinement of the cardiac conduction system as indicated by marker gene expression

, 2020
The components of the cardiac conduction system, responsible for coordinated activation of the heart chambers, are well defined and their cells differ in gene expression profile and phenotype from those of the surrounding working myocardium.

Beta1 subunits enable fentanyl‐induced BK channel activation and opioid regulation of cerebral artery diameter

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
During the current opioid crisis, the majority of overdose deaths are attributed to ultra‐potent synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl. While fentanyl exerts its action via opioid receptors, we propose that potassium channels in the brain blood vessels may also sense fentanyl.
